## Description

Every user in a Windows domain has a list of Security Identifiers, or SIDs, associated with them. This includes:

- their own personal SID

- the SID representing “all users in the local domain”

- the SID representing “Default”

- the SIDs for any Windows security groups that they are members of

The user’s personal SID is stored in the `objectSid` property of their Active Directory entry. Unfortunately, we have no way of retrieving the complete list of SIDs associated with a user.

## Details

### struct E2kSid

    struct E2kSid {
    	GObject parent;

    	E2kSidPrivate *priv;
    };

### enum E2kSidType

    typedef enum {
    	E2K_SID_TYPE_INVALID,
    	E2K_SID_TYPE_USER,
    	E2K_SID_TYPE_ALIAS,
    	E2K_SID_TYPE_GROUP,
    	E2K_SID_TYPE_WELL_KNOWN_GROUP,
    	E2K_SID_TYPE_DOMAIN,
    	E2K_SID_TYPE_DELETED_ACCOUNT,
    	E2K_SID_TYPE_UNKNOWN,
    	E2K_SID_TYPE_COMPUTER
    } E2kSidType;

### e2k_sid_new_from_string_sid ()

    E2kSid *            e2k_sid_new_from_string_sid         (E2kSidType type,
                                                             const gchar *string_sid,
                                                             const gchar *display_name);

Creates an `E2kSid` from the given information

`type` : | the type of SID that `string_sid` is
`string_sid` : | the string form of a Windows Security Identifier
`display_name` : | UTF-8 display name of the user/group/etc identified by `string_sid`
Returns : | the new SID

### e2k_sid_new_from_binary_sid ()

    E2kSid *            e2k_sid_new_from_binary_sid         (E2kSidType type,
                                                             const guint8 *binary_sid,
                                                             const gchar *display_name);

Creates an `E2kSid` from the given information

`type` : | the type of SID that `binary_sid` is
`binary_sid` : | the binary form of a Windows Security Identifier
`display_name` : | UTF-8 display name of the user/group/etc identified by `string_sid`
Returns : | the new SID

### E2K_SID_WKS_EVERYONE

    #define             E2K_SID_WKS_EVERYONE

### E2K_SID_WKS_ANONYMOUS

    #define             E2K_SID_WKS_ANONYMOUS

### e2k_sid_get_sid_type ()

    E2kSidType          e2k_sid_get_sid_type                (E2kSid *sid);

Returns the type of `sid` (user, group, etc)

`sid` : | a SID
Returns : | the `E2kSidType`

### e2k_sid_get_string_sid ()

    const gchar *       e2k_sid_get_string_sid              (E2kSid *sid);

Returns the string form of `sid`

`sid` : | a SID
Returns : | the string SID

### e2k_sid_get_binary_sid ()

    const guint8 *      e2k_sid_get_binary_sid              (E2kSid *sid);

Returns the binary form of `sid`. Since the SID data is self-delimiting, no length value is needed. Use `E2K_SID_BINARY_SID_LEN()` if you need to know the size of the binary data.

`sid` : | a SID
Returns : | the binary SID

### e2k_sid_get_display_name ()

    const gchar *       e2k_sid_get_display_name            (E2kSid *sid);

Returns the display name of the entity identified by `sid`

`sid` : | a SID
Returns : | the UTF-8 display name

### E2K_SID_BINARY_SID_LEN()

    #define             E2K_SID_BINARY_SID_LEN(bsid)

### e2k_sid_binary_sid_hash ()

    guint               e2k_sid_binary_sid_hash             (gconstpointer key);

Hashes `key`, a binary SID. For use with GHashTable.

`key` : | pointer to a binary SID
Returns : | the hash value

### e2k_sid_binary_sid_equal ()

    gint                e2k_sid_binary_sid_equal            (gconstpointer a,
                                                             gconstpointer b);

Determines if `a` and `b` contain the same SID data. For use with GHashTable.

`a` : | pointer to a binary SID
`b` : | pointer to another binary SID
Returns : | `TRUE` or `FALSE`
